Kameel Majdali's Road Ahead

Melbourne, a city that has been my home for thirty years, had protests. This is nothing new in the world’s once ‘most liveable city,’ now rated Number Eight. Sometimes Melbourne can host rowdy, even violent protests. Wasn’t it the city that tried to tear down Oral Robert’s gospel tent in 1961? Mobbed British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher at Burke Street Mall in 1988? Returned the compliment to then US President George HW Bush in 1992? This time, the protestors made their views known about abortion - in the United States. They were protesting the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 US Supreme Court decision that mandated all fifty American states must provide abortion services, at least in the first trimester. The 24 June 2022 five to four ruling reversed Roe and returned the matter of abortion to the individual states to decide on their own. California and New York will continue to be major abortion states. Other states will restrict. Not just the Melbourne protestors were indignan...

  He was no more than twenty-one years old. Yet the weight of the world was on his shoulders. His father had been a successful, acclaimed king, yet the latter part of his reign was soiled with family scandal and sedition. Now, the new young king wanted to learn from both his father’s successes and failures. How could he navigate through the minefield of leadership and life? At a high place called Gibeon, not far from Jerusalem, the young king had a dream where God offered to give him whatever he wanted. Usually, the normal worldly options include riches, fame/acclaim, and longevity. Yet he asked for none of these things. This king wanted to know how to do his job correctly. So he asked this one thing of God: please grant me a wise and understanding heart. God was so impressed with this request that it was granted on-the-spot. As a bonus, God gave the young king those things for which he did not ask: riches and fame. If he continued on walking with God, long-life would be granted, t...

She is the most famous woman in the world - yes, more than Oprah - and her face is immediately recognisable. And no wonder: her image has dominated postage stamps, coins, bank notes, and prominent buildings worldwide for over seventy years.   As we commemorate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, we would do well to remember that she is a remarkable and unrepeatable leader, a rock of stability in an ever changing world.   In assessing the reign of the Queen, we will approach it from her position, her fine qualities, and her historic link. Royal Titles The monarch inherited a wealth of titles and positions upon her accession to the throne on 6 February, 1952, when she was only twenty-five years old. The weight of responsibility, however symbolic, far outweighed the imperial state crown she received at her coronation. The main title is Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God Queen of this Realm and of Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the   Commonwealth, Defender o...

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before — Jesus Christ in Matthew 24:24-25 Since we are in the last days (Hebrews 9:26; 1 John 2:18), prophetic awareness is a key to surviving and thriving. Study the pastoral epistles of 1 & 2 Timothy and Titus, and you will not only get great leadership tips but also principles of last day living. While there are several key signs we can focus upon, there is one sign that has immediate and practical ramifications. It has to do with the war on truth. This war is real and it is fierce. Israel, its place in the Bible, today’s world, and end-time prophecy, also hang in the balance. Why the C? Warring against truth is nothing new … it has been happening since the days of Eden. Yet, prophetically, what we are seeing today is a frontal assault in overdrive! It is not just that people are lying, mor...
